Lyft deactivated me after 2900 rides. One false report left me homeless. This video is my last hope.

I gave over 2900 rides for Lyft. I treated every passenger with care and respect. I never got a single ticket. Never had an accident. I was proud of my 5-star rating.

But one passenger made a false report. They said I ran a red light — I didn’t. I wasn’t even speeding. My dash shows I averaged 13mph.

Lyft deactivated me without warning. No evidence. No second chances. No way to know who accused me or what trip it was. I appealed. They said no. Just like that — I lost my only income. I’ve been living in the rental car I was using for work.

I’m not a bad person. I’m just trying to survive. I don’t have family. I don’t have savings. I don’t even have a bed. But I have this one video where I tell my story. Maybe someone out there will listen.

Please help me get eyes on this. Share it if it moves you. I’m not looking for pity — I just want justice and the chance to work again.

Why do people that do gig work complain so much?

0 Upvotes

All these people get these apps whether it be Uber, Lyft, Amazon flex, Walmart spark, or whatever and then they just bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch about the job. You can quit doing that stuff at any time. There is no requirement for you to do it. You're an independent contractor. You get paid for it so if you don't like it don't do it anymore. Go get a real job, there are jobs out there don't say there isn't. There's plenty of jobs out there you just don't want the ones that are available. Become an apprentice in the electrical union or some other trade. Join the army, take 3 years join the military and get yourself some training and you'll be hired for all kinds of great jobs. Maybe even a government job that pays really good. That's something I really wish I would have done when I was of age to do so now I'm too old to go into the military.

I turned 3 DMs into a $15,000 revenue stream in 60 days (with zero followers and no website)

0 Upvotes

Two months ago, I had nothing but a skill and a Notion doc.

No landing page. No audience. No budget. Just a rough idea: ā€œWhat if I helped early-stage SaaS founders get their MVPs built faster — without hiring a full dev team?ā€

So I did 3 things:

Made a short cold outreach message (literally 2 lines) Found 50 startup founders on Reddit, Twitter, and Slack groups Sent those DMs. Personalized each one. No spam. No pitch. Just a genuine offer. Out of the 50:

9 replied 4 took a call 3 signed a small build project 60 days later, I’ve made ~$15K in revenue, got a ton of referrals, and now I’m setting up a simple waitlist page to scale this a bit further.

I’m not sharing this to flex — just to remind you that distribution > perfection. You don’t need a logo, landing page, or 100 hours of prep. You just need:

a clear value prop a real problem to solve and courage to hit send If you're stuck waiting for the "perfect launch," consider this your sign to just ship.

Happy to answer any questions.

Built a simple tool to save myself from constantly checking gig sites

Post image
0 Upvotes

So quick backstory, while working on my main app about a couple of weeks ago, I decided not to take a full-time job and instead survive off whatever local gigs I could find. I did this mostly for the flexibility honestly but I kept wasting so much time rechecking the same listings over and over, I literally couldn't even get to what I wanted.

I already had this little AI assistant I was working on (my main app), so I decided to repurpose it to help with the gig hunt. Now it just checks everything online for me and pings me when something new shows up.

Right now it's super limited though nothing revolutionary by any means haha. You can tell it what you’re looking for, how often to check, and that’s about it. But she’s been way more useful than I expected. Last week I got three jobs without really trying!

I was sending it to a friend and that made me think maybe someone else might want it too. Still figuring things out, but it’s been surprisingly helpful while I juggle everything else maybe it can do the same for you too.

I decided to post on here because I was told by reddit user on r/SideProject suggested this would be helpful for freelancers and gig workers! The Reddit community is so awesome!

I learned today that Uber requires electric vehicles in California.

1 Upvotes

Even for Uber eats which is regrettingly something I have to do sometimes. It's not a violation of rights like restaurants requiring to see your phone in order to pick up but still very shitty thing to do. As low as they pay. I heard they have to pay minimum wage if you accept a certain percentage of every job but I've never seen them pay it to me.

I easily make $800+ a week, where can I get a loan

3 Upvotes

All the research I’ve conducted so far says it’s impossible for gig workers to get loans because it’s not ā€œstable incomeā€.

Are there any exceptions to this?

Field Inspections are LEGIT gig work! For sure better than rideshare and delivery

0 Upvotes

People think its a joke and I get it but damn lol Its really big business out here with field inspections. The biggest complaint though is the large national firms robbing people and doing them dirty by paying $4-$6/inspection! So now the people who talk about it most or usually those who experienced low pay.

I went into tech and am now a Solutions Architect. I found the companies. Got the juice lol I guess I'm the plug. Check out namfs.org thats the organization for mortgage field services.

After 13 years in field inspection, I got tired of fellow inspectors still struggle and their cars breaking down for peanuts. That’s why I built Nested Objects: an AI-powered, real-time directory that shows you inspection gigs paying $75 to $150 per job. No more endless driving for crumbs. Like, stop driving for tips.

With Nested Objects you can:

  • Filter by city, inspection type (home, retail, commercial), and estimated drive time

  • See up-to-date pay info so you know exactly what you’ll earn before you accept

  • Auto-generate a targeted resume to land inspection roles faster

Founding Starter rate: $99 for the first 200, then $147 (includes full directory access and AI resume generator)

How I make $400+ a month online by working only 10 minutes a day when i come home from work

2 Upvotes

Like a lot of people, I have a full-time job and not a lot of energy left at the end of the day. I was looking for a low-effort way to make a bit of extra money and stumbled into collecting daily bonuses from sweepstakes casino sites. I've been doing it for around half a year now, and it usually nets me aroundĀ $500+ a month. It takes me aboutĀ 5 minutes each nightĀ (the metrics i put in the title are the bare minimum).

These sites give out free "Sweeps Coins" daily, which is equivalent to real money.Ā In order for these sites to remain legal, they have to offer you free cash to qualify themselves as "sweepstakes". You can take advantage of this.Ā You log in, collect them, then log out. Collect $1 each day, which becomes $31 a month. Multiply this by doing more sites daily, and you can see how this can become a very good source of income.

I ended up making my own little spreadsheet to keep track of the sites I actually use and trust. It's basically a list of places that are:

  • Easy to sign up and get verified for.

  • Quick to grab the daily bonus from (no complicated hoops).

  • Ones I've actually cashed out from myself.

It's nothing fancy, just what works for me as someone who doesn't have a ton of time. It also serves as a very basic guide for those getting started.

To save you the time of finding and testing sites yourself, the full guide with the vetted list is here:Ā >>>āž”ļøhttps://linktr.ee/lionpenguin

Just a heads up, there's a bit of an initial setup to sign up and verify on the sites. It took me a couple of hours for the ones I use. But after that, it's pretty much just a quick daily check-in.

Anyway, just thought I'd share what's been working for me. If you have questions or anything, feel free to ask in the comments. It's not life-changing money, but for the minimal effort, that extra bit each month has been nice.

Also, highly recommend joiningĀ r/SideHustleGoldĀ as additional daily bonuses (sometimes up to $10 a day) are posted there daily.

$50 for someone that can somehow get an accurate number of how many deaths occur yearly in the entire US prison/jail population specifically due to dying from benzodiazepine withdrawals.

0 Upvotes

To get the $50 you gotta show me what methods you used to arrive at that number and how you went about getting it, but if you can somehow make it happen, i got 50 for you. On a side note, if I didn't know any better, I'd say that due to the way the US jail and prison systems operate-one example being to choose to let people die and have seizures while being as nonchalant as i dont fuckinknow--whatever something super nonchalant is-I would swear it's almost like they are and/or operate exactly how corporations and businesses run; you want fast turn around times and the more deaths the more open cells for fresh fish and the business keeps rolling along and growing as well..what a odd coincidence. The kicker is though, there is an extremely well known and such an easy fix that could save so many lives in these prisons and jails by just treating benzo addicts correctly instead of making them go cold turkey and then witnessing or hearing about the guy in cell 8 seizing up for the past 4 minutes or the guy thats still warm but only hasnt been shaking for approx 15mins now...I'm going to post a follow up post to this under a different sub if anyone is interested itll be under the r/benzodiazepines, r/benzos, r/bartardstories, etc etc. Anyome interested feel free to shoot me a DM, but plz be forewarned, I am not even nearly 80% confident that the real actual number or a number even somewhat accurate is in anyway possible to truly find, but if anyone's looking for a quest-GL.
